Thanks for the reply. I have that list in the manual. Is the implication that I have every single error that ever flashes? I've been watching the led now for a few minutes. Sometimes it even starts at high as 54 and then counts down. That would imply I have 20 to 30 different errors over and over and over again? That doesn't make sense to me since everything seems to be working fine...

 

Howdy,

Do you find that you get the same experience if you were to put the system to sleep and then wake it? Or what about a reboot, do the codes change on reboot? Do you only see this behaviour on cold boots or is it always the same regardless of boot state?

 

Debug led reads cpu temp.Can turn off in bios.

 

It's this thank you! Evidenced by downloading MSI afterburner ... My CPU temp is spiking 10-15 degrees then cooling until it hits like 30 then jumping again. Cycling like this every 5-10 seconds. That can't be normal... Right? It's remarkably consistent...

It's doing this even just idling on desktop with no programs open.

Perhaps a setting somewhere that turns up the CPU fans if it hits 40 degrees, even though I can't hear the change?

 

what cooler are you currently using?

you're correct, that would be considered abnormal behavior. specially @ idle.

either a bad paste job, bad cooler, bad fan, or some combo of those three.

 

Cooler is a Deepcool Captain RGBv2 AIO. Well reviewed, as least as good as decent air coolers of course. Fans are spinning... I've never seen an idle temp jump like that.

Since this is now a CPU issue, not a motherboard code issue, I will make a new thread where it's more appropriate with an accurate title. Thanks for helping figure out the code part!
